Phoenix, AZ:

The Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) 2025 Annual Convention, Truckload 2025: Phoenix, culminated with the announcement of the 2024 TCA Fleet Safety Awards Grand Prize. The contest is made possible by Sponsors, Great West Casualty Company, and Assured Partners.

The Grand Prize was awarded to Liberty Linehaul West of Montebello, California in the small carrier division (total annual mileage of less than 25 million) and Nussbaum of Hudson, Illinois in the large carrier division (total annual mileage of 25 million or more). Both carriers demonstrated that they had exceptional safety programs and impressive accident frequency ratios over the last year.

Both companies, as well as all carriers which placed in the top three of their mileage-based divisions, will be recognized again during TCA’s 2025 Safety & Security Meeting, to be held June 8-10 in Louisville.

To be eligible for the TCA Fleet Safety Award Grand Prize, fleets must first submit their accident frequency ratio per million miles driven. The three carriers with the lowest ratios are identified as the winners for each of six mileage-based divisions. These carriers then undergo an audit by independent experts to ensure the accuracy of their results. TCA announced the names of the 18 division winners in January 2025 and invited them to submit further documentation about their overall safety programs, both on and off the highway, to be eligible for the Grand Prize. After review by a diverse industry panel of judges, the winning companies were deemed to have best demonstrated their commitment to improving safety on North America’s highways
